Home Again

Well so today was spent at my Mum and Dads house as we needed to leave the hotel early and we didn't set off for Wales until nearly dinner time. Eventful trip but it is now really late and I am home in Wales again

Last Night

Good lord, so last night I met up with Stephanie and Floyd, the Cool Person (Rajesh). I haven't seen Steph for 8 years and she commented on how much better I was, able to hold a conversation now whereas last time she spoke to my Mum and I could only chip in. Rajesh I haven't seen for 25 years so..... It was excellent to see then both and catch up

What A Day #27

Well, what a day.

First of all s'morning me and Paul went shopping in the middle of Belfast. Gosh, you didn't used to be able to drive there, there were security barriers all over it but now just a confusing one way system. Anyway we bought a Leprechaun for Pauls 6 yo son.

Then after that we met up with my parents and stayed in their house and ate loads.

Then we went to my Auntie Dorothy's house and spoke to her for ages. 1) She was impressed with how much better I am and 2) We looked at photos of her daughter getting married, in my head Claire was still about 15 but she is married with 3 little 'uns now

Dinner

So for dinner tonight we just ate here, so Paul sloped off, left me with Mum and Dad and Gareth. We sat around for a bit then were joined by David and Nora. So we sat down at dinner table, ordered drinks and said "Give us 5 minutes longer to choose food" then another waiter came to our table and said "Bottle of champagne from Rajesh RanaS the friend I havent seen for 25 years but am seeing tomorrow. Then we had a delicous dinner and drank another bottle of champagne with Dads birthday cake

I can't cope

Lordy what a day. My father drove us to his housw s'morning in his car. While we were there he went and fetched my Auntie Margaret and Uncle Hubert from their house to see me, they haven
t seen me since b4 my accident so it was a bit strange. After they were taken back I was pushed along to see the house I lived in until I was 11 and 2 or 3 streets up the much bigger house my parents lived in until after I left Belfasr

Snory

Lordy, apparently I snore. (According to underslept Paul)

Breakfasty

So here we are upstairs (OK, up in the lift) in the hotel having breakfast

Belfast

Lordy, we are sat in our hotel have just had tea with my parent's, Gareth, Paul.

Swelling

when SmallPaul was measuring my leg s'morning he looked at my left leg and said "Ohh, smaller", measured it and it was 2cm smaller than it has been for a week

Poohing Myself

I am flying to Belfast today.....

Early

So I thought an hour ago I'd better nip to bed 'cos I am travelling to Belfast tomorrow, I will just get a free audiobook to listen to...... so far I have got 2 books, partway thru

HELP said Toby

Then we took that Toby chap out and spent some cash buying him food

Dentist

Then we were going back into town and I thought "Gym" but then I realised that we don't go there on a Wednesday so I was looking at my diary on my phone to see. I hadn't got it to load yet when we turned into the dentists car park. Oh yes, I had forgotten, the hygenist had been too brutal and knocked out one of my fillings a fortnight ago so I am now happy with all my teeth fixed

On the way to the dentist we called into Waverley stores to say "Won't see you this Friday"

Llanelli

Then I got another email saying that my new kettle had arrived so we headed out to Llanelli to pick it up. So now I havve a kettle which stops heating the water at 96° so I can make proper nice filter coffee without waiting for it to cool from 100° then guessing when it has cooled enuf

Timmy

So Timmy came round, did my cream etc. It said on my timetable that we were s'posed to go to Llanelli Asda and pick up a new kettle today but after much telephoning to check I can confirm that it is in a lorry half way up a motorway now, so hopefully by s'afternoon it will have arrived

Tea

Then we had to go miles away to pick up that Toby who was stranded at his girlfriends house when he was s'posed to be cooking my dinner. He came back here and got stuck into making a very complex but delicious dinner.

So I have said that this was so complex next time we will cook some Brownies and he can take most of them away

Busy

So first thing s'morning, after my cream etc, we went to Dreams to pick up a price for a single bed for the staff room. I had requested that someone pay for a double but they protested and said the room will be too full with one so I saved the funder about £800 by changing it to a single

Then we went around town looking for a birthday present for my father but they were all costing more than the £2.50 I had imagined

Then we came back here and ate lunch

Then went out to More Reasons To Shop At.... to replace 2 ingredients for Toby's cooking today. I had bought them for last week but he couldn't come and they had gone OOD

Lyrics

And I found out tonight which song contained, as a lyric, one of my favourite "things to do/be"

Switch Off Machine

And during the course of today "someone" told me that my parents had said at some point that the doctors told them that when they switched my "keep him alive" machine to off that they expected me to die. Thank god my stubborness worked

Folking

So tonight we went to Loughor Boat Club as Burry Port where we usually go on a Monday had closed it's doors. During tonight someone told us that Burry Port has changed to every other week but it will be on next week
